It’s like any sector, multiple streaming platforms appear all with their own content propositions looking for market share. Some will have better propositions that others and be able to command direct subs due to their content. I.e. Disney & Netflix.

Others will have content but other add on services to bolster their offering I.e Prime and Apple

Then you have just the ones that can only offer content but no other additional service. I.e Paramount, Discovery. They do deals with other delivery vehicles like Sky.

There’s only so much subscription money to go around. The likes of Britbox, and the like, will not survive. I pay for many services and i wouldn’t pay for it.

I only have it as it comes free with Sky. All the Star Trek Stuff is one of their USPs ( it’s a certainty there will be the new Picard spin off), Tulsa King was also good, but that’s it.

As I say above, it will only exist as an add on. No one will pay for it by itself.
